The VR devices that are out today are incomparable with the devices of the "VR craze" of the 1990s.
- tpeo 9y agoWell, I didn't say they were comparable. I just sort of pointed out they existed. Current generation video game consoles are also incomparable to Pong. But hey, that's the difference between 1st and 8th generation consoles.
- calafrax 9y agoThey are much better but they are still basically the same designs as the late 90's. A lot of things have improved but most of the problems are things that were recognized before and still aren't perfect. They still need to get smaller, lighter, higher resolution, faster refresh rate, 4-8X GPU power, and wireless, but in another decade they should be awesome.

- coldtea 9y agoAnd the VR devices of 2050 would be incomparable with the devices of the 2nd "VR craze" of the late 201x's. The question is whether they are enough, not whether they are merely better.
